Title:
  Acer Aspire 3003WLMi does not power off or reboot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-sis” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I just Installed Ubuntu 14.04 RC on an old Acer Aspire 3003WLMi, after
  a very successful install on a Dell Inspiron 6000.

  Both machines seems to have the same capabilities.

  BUT :

  1- NO wifi detected on the ACER.  (OK on the Dell)
       My first installation hang on kernel configuration for the wifi driver.
       I found on a blog that un-checking the "use proprietary modules" solved the problem and allowed the installation

  2- Machine completely unresponsive with Unity (3D accelerator seems absent) but completely functional with Xubuntu desktop)
      (Surprisingly smooth on the Dell)

  3- NEVER power off when "shutdown" or "reboot" is requested.
       Every thing seems stopped. but the machine remains powered and the "shutdown screens" continue to run with its animation

  I think that this is caused by missing specific/proprietary drivers,
  BUT when I check for "proprietary drivers" none are proposed....
